Abstract

The article focuses on the historical struggles against racism and immigration policies in Britain, particularly reflecting on the Notting Hill riots of the late 1950s and their modern-day echoes. It underscores how these events reveal systemic racism, illustrating that while the past confrontations brought attention to racial violence, contemporary responses often shift blame onto immigrant communities rather than addressing the underlying issues of discrimination and social inequality.
